We know many across Alabama are keeping an eye on the weather today and tonight. Our teams are tracking conditions, and our crews are ready to respond.
Heavy rain and wind can cause trees to fall and bring down power lines — always stay clear and report hazards when you see them.
We’re here to serve you, rain or shine. Stay safe, stay connected, and visit alabamapower.com/storm for updates.

Severe weather is expected this evening for much of Central Alabama. Everyone please stay weather-aware. In the event of an outage, please notify your provider and stay away from downed lines. #weather #safety #StormSafety

Severe weather may be the initial threat, but it could transition into more of a flooding threat as we move into the evening. Here is the probability that rainfall will exceed flash flood guidance.
ALT This graphic depicts the probability that rainfall will exceed flash flood guidance this evening through tonight. Although isolated flooding could occur anywhere in Central Alabama, the greatest risk of flooding will be across southwest Central Alabama.
